Retarded the timing a bit which seemed to help.

Put another tank in, just south of Marlborough which improved things no end so I reckon it was a dodgy batch of petrol.

Autojumble was a bit rubbish though.

That put a damper on it, good result but pity there wasn't more stuff around for the garage/store.
